MEDIA CHERRY-PICKS INFO….AKA ADVERTISING
The news story of the day seems to be that MSM is limited on FACTual news reports. Aside from the so-predictable FOX so-called story about obfuscation for ad dollars, what else is new?
WHO WANTS PEACE?
C-Span ran a bit of a speech by someone named Mike Gallagher-R, in which he said (paraphrase) the CCP (China) took advantage of US “good faith”. Probably he’s referring to the blind trust of US politicians (AKA jumping through corporate hoops) in imposing the national security risk upon the US public known as globalism, in which jobs, manufacturing, and control evolved to China.
DEFINE HEALTH
The Green Party conversations attempt an exchange between people with differing views in a clear exchange of ideas.
COURAGE TO CHANGE
Change requires courage and imagination. Propaganda helps to ensure the public have neither.
THE VALUE OF UFO’S
The value of the recent UFO concerns in the USA that has an infinitesimal chance of being aliens from outside of our universe, is the attention-grabbing ability that may accrue toward those who may otherwise be running around in red caps and annoying others. A significant value is to shine light into the dark corner of government secrecy that is out of sync with a democracy.
MYOPIC OLIGARCHY
Oligarchy can be defined by myopia.
The mindset was on display on C-Span this morning.https://www.c-span.org/video/?525774-4/washington-journal-michael-gordon-discusses-chinese-military-capabilities-threats-posed-us –FEBRUARY 12, 2023 | PART OF WASHINGTON JOURNAL 02/12/2023
RESPONSIBILITY OF DEFENSE
A greater national security threat doesn’t exist than the delicate balance of nature.
CULTIVATE LUCIDITY
It’s not that one doesn’t believe Russia is capable of propaganda, it’s that one believes the US government is similarly aberrant. Recalling a statement from a Russian citizen before Russian views were censored away from the US public, “it’s not that Russian people aren’t aware their government lies to them, it’s that Russian people are aware of the lies, unlike American people”. But then, when one is “exceptional”………
WHEN MONEY IS FREE SPEECH BUT SPEECH ISN’T FREE
Control of information promotes Establishment stories.
POLITICAL JOKE
Have you heard the USSR Brezhnev joke ….From the book The Gates of Europe…..”But the Soviet economy was in no condition to accelerate anything other than rates of decline…….” ‘We were on the edge of an abyss………but since then we have made a huge step forward’……”
STORIES CHANGE WITH THE TELLER
History as taught in the US educational system is written from the perspective of the USA. The globalism that has been about economics has conveniently overlooked FACTS that would more realistically inform about the role of humanity in wars. While admitting that Russia is the enemy and shouldn’t have attacked Ukraine, one would be intellectually dishonest if one didn’t recognize the price paid by Russia in WWII, and that in the USA has been superimposed by a presumption of US supremacy in challenging Hitler.
ENTITLEMENT vs EARNED BENEFIT
How many workers wonder when their Social Security Earned Benefit for which they pay, turned into a media-defined Social Security Entitlement. Actually the transformation was over a much shorter time frame than was, for example, the transfer of the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%.
PEACE AND WAR
One believes the following book by Tolstoy was banned in Russia. Oligarchs (those who steer public opinion for personal promotion) are similar.
TREEHUGGER AND HISTORY
That the phrase treehugger originated byway of followers of Hindu and possibly again byway of followers of Buddhism come as no surprise.
